People look and point at and orient their bodies toward pple whom they want to start speaking. They look and turn their bodies away from those they wish would stop speaking: allow for pple to easily designate who is to speak and who is not. 4) self-adaptor: refers to nervous behaviours pple engage in with no seeming intention, as if simply to release nervous energy.
